What’s the True Cost of Nurse Burnout 
in Your Organization Today?

Burnout is draining your resources, costing you dedicated nurses and millions each year in turnover.

100 Nurses

Up to $3,135 lost per day

1,000 Nurses

Up to $31,347 lost per day

5,000 Nurses

Up to $156,737 lost per day

The potential costs and risk for not addressing
the burnout issue are STAGGERING.

We help you identify, assess, and address burnout—protecting patient outcomes, preserving team morale, and mitigating turnover costs before it’s too late.

And this doesn't even account for the potential impact of patients: Burnout contributes to a 14% increase in patient mortality and a rise in preventable medical errors. For an average 200-bed hospital, the combined financial impact of preventable errors, increased mortality, and extended stays could approach $2.68 million annually.

Wellness Programs and Surveys
Aren’t Solving the Problem

Many healthcare organizations rely on wellness programs and periodic surveys to address nurse burnout. However, these well-intentioned tools are missing the mark and failing to deliver real change. Here’s why:

Endless Surveys, Little Action

Popular survey tools like Press Ganey, Medallia, and Qualtrics collect data, but that’s often where the process ends. Surveys provide a snapshot of burnout levels, but they lack follow-through. Without actionable insights or meaningful follow-up, nurses feel unheard, leading to frustration and disengagement. Additionally, the fear of repercussions can discourage honest feedback, resulting in incomplete or inaccurate data that doesn’t address the real issues.

One-Size-Fits-All Wellness Programs

Traditional wellness programs offer general solutions like EAPs, mindfulness apps, or physical activity initiatives. These programs focus on individual wellness but ignore the systemic issues that contribute to burnout, such as excessive workloads, inadequate staffing, and lack of support. As a result, they only address surface-level symptoms instead of tackling the root causes of burnout in nursing.

Misalignment with Frontline Realities

Wellness programs are often developed without a full understanding of the daily challenges nurses face. Initiatives like “Resilience Pizza” or therapy dogs might offer brief relief, but they don’t address the underlying stressors that drive burnout. Furthermore, many programs fail to align with the high-pressure, fast-paced work environments in healthcare, making them feel irrelevant or even trivial to frontline staff.

Limited Impact on Organizational Culture

Individual interventions like counseling apps or resilience training don’t impact the organizational culture that drives burnout. Reports from McKinsey, Deloitte, and Blue Cross Blue Shield reveal that systemic issues like heavy demands, poor job design, and insufficient leadership support remain unaddressed. Wellness programs often place the responsibility on nurses to “manage their stress,” rather than addressing structural issues that contribute to burnout.

Low Engagement and Participation

Wellness programs frequently suffer from low participation. Barriers like privacy concerns, high workloads, lack of time, and skepticism about program effectiveness mean that less than 25% of employees engage with these initiatives. When wellness programs are seen as irrelevant or disconnected from real workplace challenges, participation drops even further.

No Real-Time, Data-Driven Adaptability

Burnout is a dynamic issue that requires continuous monitoring and timely interventions. Traditional wellness programs and surveys lack the real-time data needed to adjust strategies based on changing burnout levels. This delay leaves organizations reacting to problems only after they’ve become severe, rather than preventing them in the first place.

What Traditional Wellness Programs and Surveys Still Can’t Answer

Most wellness programs and standard surveys fall short in addressing the full complexity of nurse burnout. They often miss key insights that are essential for a targeted, effective burnout prevention strategy:

What is our level of burnout
 compared to other systems?

Traditional wellness programs don’t provide benchmarks to show how your organization’s burnout levels stack up against similar healthcare systems. Without this external comparison, it’s difficult to gauge the true severity of burnout in your organization or set meaningful goals for improvement.

How much does burnout
differ by demographics?

Generic programs rarely offer insights into how burnout varies across demographic factors such as age, gender, years of experience, role, or unit. This lack of detail prevents organizations from identifying specific groups that are most at risk and tailoring interventions accordingly.

What are the root causes of
burnout per demographic?

Most wellness initiatives don’t analyze burnout’s root causes by demographic, leaving out critical information on why certain groups experience burnout differently. Without this insight, organizations are unable to implement targeted actions that address the underlying issues specific to each group.

How are our interventions
impacting outcomes?

Wellness programs typically don’t track the effectiveness of their interventions in real time. This makes it hard to measure the actual impact on burnout levels, patient outcomes, or workforce morale, leaving organizations in the dark about whether their strategies are truly working.
